Thank you for the reply! I ran the check with a drill because I’ve seen 3-4 supposed pros on YouTube doing it. You know how that goes though, everyone is a pro on there. LOL.
I can re-mark and re-run by hand but like you said I don’t see much changing.
Yes, preload set at 24 inch pounds rolling torque.
So, a tad deep meaning it needs a bit less shim? What are you thinking, .003-.004?
This isn’t an everyday driver, so I’m probably only looking at 1200 miles per year on the drive train.
It’s very very smooth when spinning with a drill, although that may not mean anything.
